TThe Intercultural Studies Program prepares students to enter a wide variety
of careers including international business, government, diplomacy and
other areas in which cross-cultural interpretive skills are substantial
assets. With additional education or training the graduate will be further
prepared to work in international law, international education or other
academic areas with international dimensions.
The Intercultural Program provides students with wide exposure to the
